Royal Road
Chapter 430 Huge Milestone
The ground was stained red with blood, spreading between the cracks in the streets.
Buildings lay in ruins, and broken glass and rubble covered everything.
Reign walked slowly through the destruction, each step splashing in the blood.
In the distance, loud screams pierced the air, sharp and desperate.
People ran, tripping over the debris, trying to get away from the undead army.
Some cried, others begged, but it didn't matter to him. He didn't see them as people—just food.
All those feelings he'd had before, when he was trapped in that weird place, were nothing more than a result of his weakness.
His need for connection, his guilt, his hesitation—they had all been symptoms of his insecurities.
Now, that weakness was gone. He had transcended it, reverting back to his old self.
The only thing that could really challenge his evil nature was Celine.
She was the one person who made him feel something close to doubt, a flicker of hesitation .
Fortunately, he had found a loophole, a way around the one thing that could have stopped him.
Now, with her not around, no one could stop him.
"Please, don't hurt me!" A woman stumbled toward him.
Her face was streaked with tears, each one a testament to the horror she had witnessed.
She shook uncontrollably, her eyes darting around as if searching for an escape that was no longer possible.
"Have mercy!" she pleaded.
BURST!
He stepped on her head and killed her instantly. He didn't even bother to look at her crushed skull.
'Did I step on something?' He checked his feet as if he had just stepped in a pile of shit.
'Never mind... They're coming closer,' he muttered, watching as his undead army herded the remaining survivors into the center..
It would be easy to finish them off now—all he needed was one move.
Raising his fingers, he decided on the simplest method: lightning.
CRACK!
A flash of light crackled in the air, and chain lightnings struck the crowd, killing everyone in a single wave.
After they died, he absorbed their vitalities, his power growing .
[Ding!]
[Level 100]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
'Finally,'
He clenched his fist in excitement.
It had been a long journey, and the number of humans he had killed was already in the 8 digits. But in the end, it was all worth it.
[System: Congratulations, Host, for reaching Level 100!]
[Rewards]
[Store : New Items]
[Advance Analysis]
[Research and Development Option]
[All Skills can be leveled up to 100]
[Original Skills - legendary Upgrade]
[System Evolution]
The number of rewards in his window showed just how huge this milestone was.
He couldn't help but grin as he scanned the list of unlocks.
It wasn't wrong to say that Level 100 was the point where he could really take advantage of the system's abilities.
"Advance Analysis," he said, clicking the option to see what he should expect.
A new window opened in front of him, filled with detailed information.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-
>>Language Analysis
Analyze the language patterns, dialects, and communication styles .
>>Item Analysis
Examine item or equipment for its properties, strengths, and weaknesses.
>>DNA Analysis:
Study the genetic makeup of living beings to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and potential evolutions.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-
The descriptions were pretty straightforward, but what caught his attention was the DNA Analysis.
With this ability, he could finally check and study the meta-humans inside of him, unlocking the secrets of their power.
If he could figure them out, then when he reached Demon King Status, he wouldn't just be any other Demon King—he would be the strongest.
In addition, the irregularity of meta-human powers meant that there was a possibility he could jump ranks and even contend against a Demon God for a short period of time.
That thought sent a thrill through him. It would be like climbing to the heavens in one giant leap, instantly placing him among the strongest beings in the world.
"System , I want to use Data Analysis in the Meta-Humans," he commanded.
[System: Host, the Data Analysis will consume a lot of processing power because meta-humans are complex beings.]
[I advise the Host to postpone this, as the processing power would be needed for your evolution to Demon King.]
Reign frowned, momentarily torn between his curiosity and the urgency of his evolution.
The prospect of analyzing the meta-human inside him was enticing, but the chance to ascend to Demon King status was too great to ignore.
'Okay, I'll focus on becoming a Demon King first. The analysis can wait.'
He knew that once he achieved that level of power, he could explore the meta-human abilities to his heart's content.
'What should I do now? How can I evolve?'
[System: Host need another seed to be sacrifice just like last time.]
Hearing this, he quickly checked his Dark Dust points and saw that he had more than enough to buy one.
Without hesitation, he purchased it and began the process.
[System requires to temporary control the host to facilitate the process. Grant permission?]
[Yes] or [No]
He hesitated for a moment. The system had taken control of his body multiple times before, including when he broke through to Demon Lord status.
But now, with all the doubts he had, it was becoming harder to trust it.
Unfortunately, he was still dependent, so he had no choice.
"Yes," he muttered.
[System: Affirmative.]
With that, his consciousness shut down, plunging him into darkness. He didn't transfer to his second body this time.
A seed protruded from his chest, warm and pulsating.
It dropped to the ground and quickly sprouted into a humanoid figure, its features the same with his second body.
The system then enacted its plan.
[System: Allocating all available Dark Points, Skill Points, and Dark Dust Points to enhance the second body.]
As this announcement echoed, new cores began to materialize in the second body, mimicking his own.
The system worked tirelessly to upgrade it, pushing it toward the peak of Upper Level Demon.
[System: Insufficient Points to achieve Peak Demon King Level.]
[System: Converting Stored Energy and processing power as a substitute resource.]
